Real Rider: Alaina Parmeter is a Michigan barrel racer and first-generation cowgirl who builds her weekends around horses, hauling, rodeos, trail rides, cattle work, and the kind of care that still has to happen after the run is over.
Horses first, sport second
Alaina and her close friend and hauling partner, Natalie, share a simple order of priorities: the horses come first and the sport comes second. Most weekends find them crossing Michigan for barrel races and rodeos. When they are not competing, they are trail riding, sorting cattle, or camping with their horses.
That is the Real Rider life. The run may last seconds. The hauling, preparation, cooling, feeding, watering, footing checks, and next-morning observations take the rest of the weekend.
Her Draw It Out® routine
Alaina told us Draw It Out® is part of keeping her program calm and repeatable through long hauls and post-run care. She especially values liniment after rides, along with hoof and grooming care that fits the larger routine.
Alaina: “Draw It Out has been our go to product line for keeping our horses happy and comfortable. From the long hauls to the post run maintenance, Draw It Out products always have us covered. We especially love the liniment for after rides. Not only that, but we love the hoof care and grooming products as well. Draw It Out is truly one of a kind.”
What real consistency looks like
- Check water, manure, appetite, feet, legs, movement, and recovery before loading and after arrival.
- Keep one label-directed topical routine that can be repeated on the road.
- Recheck the horse the next morning instead of judging recovery only at the trailer.
- Change the plan when footing, weather, travel, or the horse’s response changes.

Bottom line: Alaina represents the riders Draw It Out® was built for: horses first, hard miles, quiet consistency, and no need for borrowed glamour.
